Apex is a great firm in that it allows you up to 20 accounts so if you were scaling a trading business this would be a great option.

Ever since the update, APEX has become a power house again. One of the biggest issues, though, are the rules. The scalability is second to no other firm in the game, though. The support has become pretty responsive, the dashboard looks awesome, the new rules are absolutely GOATed. The Payouts are pretty quickly approved but the actual payout takes a few days, every time - which is annoying. The EOD Trail accounts all have DLLs in place, which is a bit annoying for this type of firm, but hey...

Apex Trader Funding has been an excellent choice for me as a futures trader. After trying several prop firms, this one stands out for its reliability, fairness, and trader-friendly approach. The evaluation process is clear and achievable. The rules are laid out transparently from the start — no hidden traps, no confusing fine print. The profit targets are realistic for a disciplined trader, and the trailing drawdown, once you understand it, gives you a fair path to getting funded. The frequent discounts on evaluations also make it very accessible to get started. The platform performance has been solid. Order execution stays fast and dependable even during volatile sessions, and I haven't dealt with the technical problems that held me back elsewhere. That consistency matters a lot when you're trading live. Payouts are where Apex really earns its reputation. Withdrawals are processed reliably and on schedule, with clear rules on how and when you can take profits. When you meet the requirements, you get paid — and that trust is exactly what every serious trader is looking for. The support team is responsive and helpful. My questions were always answered clearly and within a reasonable timeframe, which makes the whole experience smoother. The value for money is excellent, especially with their regular promotions. You can tell the firm genuinely wants its traders to succeed rather than trying to trip them up. I recommend Apex Trader Funding without hesitation to any serious trader looking for a trustworthy, transparent, and professional prop firm. They deliver on what they promise.

Apex is is the holy grail of prop firms. They continue to keep up and stay as the leader in innovation but any they pace while still making payouts easier and easier. I appreciate the customer service as well

Apex is one if not the most known prop firm on the space. Adding the EOD trailing has been a major update in terms of the accounts they offer. Payout's validation are incredibly fast and customer experience is ok. The only thing that makes trading difficult on their accounts are some of the rules once you got the PA.

J’aime Apex Trader Funding parce qu’elle offre une excellente opportunité aux traders qui souhaitent accéder à un capital plus important sans risquer toutes leurs économies. Son programme d’évaluation permet de démontrer ses compétences avant d’obtenir un compte financé. J’apprécie également la flexibilité qu’elle propose, avec plusieurs tailles de comptes adaptées aux différents profils de traders. Les règles sont claires et encouragent une bonne gestion du risque, ce qui aide à développer de bonnes habitudes de trading. De plus, la plateforme permet aux traders performants de recevoir une partie des profits qu’ils réalisent, ce qui est très motivant. Apex Trader Funding est aussi reconnue par une grande communauté de traders qui partagent leurs expériences et leurs conseils. Pour toutes ces raisons, j’apprécie Apex Trader Funding, car elle représente une occasion d’apprendre, de progresser et de mettre en pratique une stratégie de trading de manière plus professionnelle.

I wouldn't put to the top of the list due to having to carry the worry baggage with their move to live rules. Also, the fact that your passed evals expire after 7 days if not activated is shady in my opinion but they dont hide it. The upside is obviously the max allo limit compared to other firms.

I LIKEE APEX FOR THEIR ABILITY TO ALWAYS CHANGE AND ADAPT TO THE COMPETITIVE NATURE OF OTHER FIRMS. THEY USED TO ONLY HAVE TRAILING DRAW DOWN ACCOUNTS AND THEY WERE HARD TO PASS ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE STARTING OFF. BUT OVERALL I LIKEE APEX
